Abstract: A technique is provided for configuring and controlling complex hardware subsystems that relieves the burden placed on the system programmer and that is, by comparison to present methods, safe and error-free. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, configuration of a hardware subsystem (110) is accomplished by providing in hardware a configuration controller including a controller portion (113) and a storage portion (115) storing configuration parameters. The configuration controller (113) is activated, for example in response to a Configuration/Control ID, and thereupon performs configuration of the hardware subsystem (110), including storing at least one configuration parameter in a register (111) of the hardware subsystem. Typically, the configuration controller hardware (113) and storage (115) are embedded within the hardware subsystem to be configured or controlled. The configuration/control functionality is thus 'encapsulated' within the hardware subsystem (110) itself such that the system programmer need not be concerned with details.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes informatiques utilisés pour comparer des biomolécules entre échantillons biologiques. Dans ce contexte, on effectue des relevés de spectrométrie de masse sur des biomolécules prises dans deux échantillons ou plus. Ces relevés sont ensuite traités et analysés au moyen des méthodes décrites à des fins de comparabilité. Cette technologie est dite de « mise en correspondance de constellations »/ Constellation Mapping  (CM). Les résultats ainsi obtenus, ou cartes de constellation, peuvent servir à comparer la quantité 'abondance de biomolécules dans des échantillons et, en temps réel, être utilisés pour la sélection de biomolécules en abondance variable pour LC/MS-MS ultérieures (chromatiographie liquide/spectrométrie de masse en tandem).

Abstract: Described herein are methods for separating one or more analytes present in a fluid sample. The methods involve passing the fluid through a filter having a microporous material, wherein the analytes are localized near the surface of the microporous material. Additional processing steps such as hybridization and amplification can be performed once the analyte is localized. In one method, once the analyte is localized, the analyte can be detected, counted, and correlated in order to determine the concentration of the analyte in the sample. Modified microporous materials and composite materials are also disclosed that can be used in any of the methods and articles described herein. The composite is composed of a microporous material and a pigment, wherein the pigment is incorporated in the microporous material. The pigments alter the optical properties of the microporous material, which enhances the detection of analyte once it is localized. In a further aspect, various kits and articles such as filtration devices containing any of the microporous materials described herein are provided. Figure 1b shows the cross-sectional view of the microporous material.

Abstract: A flexible and scalable architecture and method that implements
dynamic rate control scheduling in an ATM switch. The scheduler shapes a
large number of streams according to rate values computed dynamically based
on switch congestion information. To handle a large range of bit rates, a
plurality of timewheels are employed with different time granularities. The
streams are assigned dynamically to the timewheels based on computed rate
values. The shaper architecture and method supports priority levels for
arbitrating among streams which are simultaneously eligible to transmit. 
     Specifically, a scheduling timestamp is determined by the scheduler in
consideration of a dynamic rate varied in dependency upon congestion
information, a peak cell rate, and/or a sustainable cell rate, and a burst
threshold while a shaping timestamp is also determined with reference to the
scheduling timestamp determined by the above-mentioned manner. The
scheduler may shape a stream in accordance with a rate determined by an
ABR mechanism along with the dynamic rate.

Abstract: By reducing the variation value of a motor current, an
inverter controlling apparatus for driving a motor having a
small size and a light weight may be implemented in low cost
employing a small inductance reactor and a small capacitance
capacitor. The operation of the motor can be maintained by
maintaining a substantially constant voltage applied to the
motor by the PN voltage correcting means, even for the case
that the motor is difficult to be operated owing to a
variation of the inverter DC voltage in a large scale.
Accordingly, by reducing the varying amount of the motor,
the inverter controlling apparatus for driving the motor and
the air harmonizer using same which achieves the small size,
light mass can be provided in low cost.

Abstract: The noise signal filtering method involves detecting the repletion frequency of the noise signal and, if a known constant frequency is detected, at least partly suppressing and/or damping the signal at least at the next anticipated time point. This is done in a manner analogous to a radio receiver noise blanker, using a transistor to momentarily shunt the audio path. The detection process is carried out over the duty cycle and/or the fundamental frequency of the noise signal. An independent claim is also included for an arrangement for filtering noise signals in a hearing aid.

Mixtures of coded microcarriers with capture probes are used in assays for nucleic acids utilizing microarray methods.
